The aim of the 23 Things Summer Camp strategy sessions was to encourage attendees to think about the point of social media and how it might be used to greatest effect in their libraries.
A good part of each session was spent working through a process of identifying social media requirements, including audiences, content requirements and functionality. This information was then plotted in a grid against a variety of popular social media tools to help clarify which might be most useful for each library.
The old fashioned approach of pen and large pieces of paper was used and resulted in some great stuff. Examples below:

Session 1 will focus on strategy – why use web 2.0? What is your aim? Which tools will you use? How will you maintain your web 2.0 presence and link it to everything else that you do? What are the risks and how should you deal with them?
Session 2 will cover set-up – plenty of hands-on time to get your chosen tools and sites up and running with expert support available.
Session 3 will look at synchronisation – how to make it all work together efficiently so that it will save you time, reach the widest audience, and connect with your existing website and other publicity tools.
You can attend all the sessions or just pick the ones you need help with. Each session will run twice, and can be attended out of order, although following the course through will give you the best overview. Please note that you will need to do some preparatory and follow-up work for each session to get the best out of the programme.
